Born in London, England, Jane Goodall's early fascination with animal behavior blossomed into a lifelong passion. This passion led her, as a teenager, to Africa, where she became an assistant to paleontologist and anthropologist Louis Leakey. Her groundbreaking work took her to the Gombe Stream Game Reserve in Tanzania, where she dedicated herself to observing the natural behaviors of local chimpanzees. Goodall was a fervent advocate for wildlife, committed to raising awareness about threats to animals and promoting conservation and ethical treatment. She earned her PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1965. Throughout her illustrious career, she authored dozens of books and received numerous accolades, including the Hubbard Medal in 1965 and the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement in 1997. Jane Goodall passed away October 1, 2025, at the age of 91, while on a speaking tour in the United States.
